Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Basically, I was thinking it could be an idea to have a aspiring sorcerer challenge, as much as they are useless and make us despair, they are an integral part of our forces and can occaisonally do something usefull, any idea on rules?

Xenith Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 See Grotsmasha's librarian conversion challenge - I'd expect it would be exactly the same as that. To be a bit more helpful, maybe stipulate that it has to be a Tzeentch Sorcerer? For reference, here is the link to GS's thread: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276254-grotsmashas-conversion-challenge-2-librarians/ I don't know if you'd want to be as strict in terms of components you're allowed to use, but may be nice to knock together a new model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 With about a dozen kitbashed sorcerers in my TSons, I'm ready for this kind of challenge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessus Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 What are the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Say no more then 25% can be from any one model, with the exclusion non character kits? Say a month as deadline? Must be an aspiring sorcerer, unpainted, and 3 pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 So when will it start, and, most importantly for us mercenary-minded types, is there a prize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Wasn't planning a prize, say start it friday, and give everyone a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Sounds good to me, I'm in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 is there a prize?You get a free roll on the Boon table, rerolling Dark Apothesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hmm, thinking about my off-hand quip, how about a conversion contest, either in conjunction with this one, or after this one, more fitting to the changer of the ways: A chaos boon conversion contest? Everyone rolls on the table, or the OP rolls, and everyone then has 1 month to model their boon, or their interpretation of the boon roll? Unworthy offering means you have to sculpt a disappointed looking sorcerer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Unworthy offering means you have to sculpt a disappointed looking sorcerer. Or just use Abaddon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Nah, Abaddon in fluff and in rules, refuses the offer of ascension every time the gods make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 And so I had an idea for a shoulderpad... http://imageshack.us/a/img843/7537/tox3.jpg ...lets see where this takes me...I have no idea how the rest is about to look, but we'll just have to find out...

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Ohh that looks nice, just got back from visiting a mate so may take a pic of my progress so far? I'm thinking in progress pics could be interesting/motivating possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 First up, a pic of the bits I plan on using... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v43/Perturabo/Bits1_zps70fad6d0.jpg "Wait a sec", I hear you say, "Why are there Space Wolf bits on a Sorcerer?". Easy answer is that they are trophies taken in battles. We always hear about Loyalists using captured CSM weapons, so I figured it's only fair we could do the same. Eventually, I'd like to do an entire Rubric squad with Wolf trophies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 See, I just figured the wolf helm was a totemic thing (like sekhmet helmets) and the rune blade was a convenient force weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Must admit, I've been thinking of converting a jackel helmet aspiring sorcerer, but am going with a more hawk/numenorian look for mine, may try to convert the helmet. Plus a helmet like that would be a very nice piece of spoil, especially if it's previous owner had damaged his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 RPR, I've seen a conversion guide to make the eagle vents from the SM Captain box into eagle helmets? It may be of interest to you. Cant seem to google it. May have been on Dakka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneris Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Or use the assorted animal helmets from Puppetswar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessus Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Sorry, I have a tournament army to finish, and sadly it doesn't contain any Thousand Sons... ...but straight after that I am back to my random little musings again (including my asp. sorc. that is lying in bits on my desk, amongst several other little piles of stuff...one pile equals one miniature, lol) ...unless I get stuck in FFXIV:ARR, which I am going to give a try...
